"The musical chronicles Finch's calculated and meteoric rise to corproate and romantic success, a retro look at "Mad Men" culture set to song, and a show that's less about a plot and more a showcase for a dynamic male lead, someone who can sing, dance and charm your pants off -- qualities Criss has in spades.

Criss' shining moment was "I Believe In You," where Finch sings a pep talk into his washroom mirror as he makes his climb to the top. The staging puts Criss on a platform at the front of the orchestra, close to the audience. Although he's singing to himself, he manages to connect to the crowd and seems to tell them he believes in them, too."
